Prolific Writers



We have entered the phase where the duo's reading and writing skills are taking off. That means anything and everything becomes a book-worthy prospect.




If they study flowers at school, we suddenly have books written about different types of flowers. Grace saw an eagle in flight this past weekend, and they have now written books about both eagles and birdwatching.  Gracie even wanted to add a bird whistle to her Christmas list until we told her there were apps she could use in lieu of an actual whistle. Whew. She was relieved not to use one of her toy requests for a necessity like a birdwatching tool.



William George, on the other hand, continues to specialize in demolition, although he will request a pen and paper to "do his homework" and trace your hand. Were you to visit, he would quickly say, "Put you hand down," as he taps his paper.


The trio work really well together until George attempts to add his own writings to their hand-crafted books, as the duo are not big on collaboration.  They prefer to work alone.

Don't you just love it?!? Bailey has always been my writer. Callie is just starting to attempt writing more - I hope it sticks. Sounds like your house is staying super busy!
